Who can use it

Residents of the SPSA service area may receive free disposal of household waste, limited to 12 visits per calendar year, at SPSA transfer stations, with proof of residency in the SPSA service area (for example a driver's license or a utility bill). Accepted household waste may be bagged or unbagged and includes furniture, mattresses, and small appliances that have a freon-free certification sticker if applicable. Waste must arrive in an unmarked (except rental markings) and unmodified private vehicle or rented pickup: an automobile, station wagon, passenger van with under 15 seats, SUV, pickup truck (1-ton capacity or smaller), or similar, or a utility trailer up to 12 feet long with no visible tools or equipment, towed by one of those vehicles. Box trucks and cargo vans are treated as commercial and are subject to the current tipping fee. Pickup trucks larger than 1-ton capacity, commercial, marked (except rental markings), or modified vehicles, and waste from rental properties are not eligible for free disposal. A supervisor makes the final call when residential versus commercial classification is unclear. SPSA questions: (757) 420-4700. Administration office: 723 Woodlake Drive, Chesapeake, VA 23320. The SPSA guidelines say the Suffolk Transfer Station is open Monday through Friday 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday 8:00 a.m. to noon for all SPSA service-area residents. The Regional Landfill, the residential recycling collection center, HHW and e-waste, and the tire processing facility are listed at the same address. Automobile tires (no more than four per day) are directed to the Regional Landfill, not to other transfer stations, for free residential automobile-tire disposal.

Other notes

The official staff-directory phone for the Suffolk Transfer Station is (757) 961-3683, and the Acceptable Materials page uses the same number for questions about oversized limbs or stumps. The City of Chesapeake FAQ has also listed (757) 961-3682 for this location; that second number was not on the SPSA Suffolk directory page fetched, so it is not treated as the station number here.
Residents may bring scrap metal to the Regional Landfill at no charge. Small amounts of concrete in small pieces may go to transfer stations under the residential guidelines; large loads of broken concrete go to the Regional Landfill. Asbestos shingles are accepted at the Regional Landfill by appointment only. Non-friable asbestos (siding and tile) may be brought to the Regional Landfill if double-bagged and taped closed. Unbagged, uncontaminated yard soil may be brought to the Regional Landfill, and the current disposal fee applies.
